Starbucks drops holiday cups for hot, cold drinks
Starbucks released holiday-themed cup collection at the beginning of the month to get the merriment going early.
Baristas will prepare your beverage in one of four different custom hot cup designs or one custom cold cup design, depending on your beverage. Most, if not all, of the cup designs were colored with a cranberry red, the signature Starbucks green, or white in some capacity.
"We love finding these genuine moments of joy and coffee to inspire the creative,” Kristy Cameron, Starbucks’ creative director, said in a statement. “Whether that’s coffee trees growing, beans roasting, cups toasting, or lights glowing – we wanted to share the warmth of our coffeehouse and the anticipation of the red cups arriving with our customers and partners.”
This year’s theme, “Merrier Together," is a recognition of community the holidays bring as people unite through song, she said.
“We kept thinking about this notion of voices coming together, like our siren singing,” Cameron said. “It feels musical in a way.”
